| 1. | Old adults often show heightened antagonist muscle coactivation during goal directed movement.
|
| 2. | If a motion is reversed, agonist and antagonist muscles switch roles.
|
| 3. | This excitatory interneuron innervates the alpha motor neuron that controls the antagonist muscle.
|
| 4. | When the agonist muscle is inhibited from contracting, the antagonist muscle contracts.
|
| 5. | There are co-contractions of antagonist muscles.
|
| 6. | Electrical stimulation to the antagonist muscles or vibrations has also been used with some success.
|
| 7. | A small device that can help in developing the antagonist muscles to those used while gripping with the hand.
|
| 8. | In others, a botulinum toxin injection into an extraocular muscle is accompanied by a bupivacaine injection into the antagonist muscle.
|
| 9. | The interposed nucleus is responsible for coordinating agonist / antagonist muscle pairs, and therefore a lesion in this area causes tremor.
|
| 10. | If bupivacaine injection is combined with a small dose of botulinum toxin in the antagonist muscle, eye deviation during regeneration is minimized.
